Wait, you mean I have to work more than forty hours per week to make $160,000 per year? I'm shocked! This totally changes my perception of big law and the legal profession in general! I really regret going to law school now!

+1

lol I think it was a little more than forty hours...?

Also, considering all the other bullshit that comes with it, it's funny how some of the idiots here only hear "$160,000."

There are still a lot of people out there (including me) who would love an opportunity to work in biglaw.

My dad works 70-80 hour weeks, loves it. The trick is to work a job you like.

P.S. would love a link to someone who makes a ton of money without having to work crazy hard for it. *Not holding breath*

Where did you learn your awesome writing skills?

i believe dood explained in an old thread that he's more concerned with efficiency than perfect spelling and grammar. honestly i cant blame him, this is a message board. same with email. i've emailed so many bosses (not law firm mind you, but white collar) who didn't write complete sentences, or capitalize, or any of that. i even saw a "natch" once.
